Until it breaks, which is every 1000 miles

60% of the time, it works every time.

It's amazing how fast a ~2700lb car can be.

Double date with some friends, she just messaged and asked if we can go dancing afterwards but dinner is not until 8:30 and with our friends we usually eat/drink for a good 2-3 hours so might skip on that.
Gifts, I got her a picture collage thing she wanted and specifically asked for, will probably work up something to do on the day of like some flowers.

It kinda makes sense. A woman and a FD are both not working one week out of every month.

I don't know... One of my friends' was sitting for 8 months... Got everything rebuilt, 1000 break in miles, motor popped shortly thereafter. The car has bankrupted him. All my other friends with RX7s have DDs because their RX7 is broken in the garage...

Actually, one spent 8k on a rebuild 6 months ago, less than 1000 miles... Already has problems

Chuck33079 · 02-12-2014, 11:11 AM

That's why people put LS1s in them. It's the only good part of a Chevy fixing the only bad part of the FD.

Except when you do a LS1 its like adding a diesel engine to a gas pickup, or having 10 fat people sit on your hood while you drive around. haha

I thought the LS was pretty close to the weight of the rotary and all of the turbo plumbing?

LS motors are very light, I know the s2k that did it with an LS3 only added 30lbs or so all on the back side of the engine or over the front axle.

V-Day plans: study for midterm the next day. Good thing she's in the same class as me so she's not complaining

I'll make it up to her on Sunday.

The turbo is the killer actually, not the car. So am FC turbo is more of a POS compared to the NA.
And those guys are perpetually broke because they "got a good deal" for $4k on the car... And the car perpetually breaks

Yeah, plus or minus like 75lbs. You have to get a GTO tranny and a Ford Mustang rear end. The enthusiasts like my retard friends like 400/400... They think it's weird for the sound of a V8 to come out of their rice rocket

Chuck, you are correct. I miss spoke. I forgot that the LS has an aluminum block.

So yes they are very close in weight.

My apologies.

Mitco39 · 02-12-2014, 11:13 AM

This FD she has she has not touched it and put on about 5-6000kms (~4000miles) on it and so far it has not missed a beat. I gotta say that rotary engine is something out of a dream. Albeit a short dream lol, but man its impressive.

It helps when shes a automotive mechanic and does all her own work to the car. If it pops she'll just rebuild it herself.
